Joel Billy - The Ballad Of Billy The Kid Lyrics
From a town known as wheeling, west virginiaRode a boy with a six-gun in his handAnd his daring life of crimeMade him a legend in his timeEast and west of the rio grandeWell, he started with a bank in coloradoIn the pocket of his vest, a colt he hidAnd his age and his sizeTook the teller by surpriseAnd the word spread of billy the kidWell, he never traveled heavyYes, he always rode aloneAnd he soon put many older guns to shameAnd he never had a sweetheartAnd he never had a homeBut the cowboy and the rancher knew his nameWell, he robbed his way from utah to oklahomaAnd the law just could not seem to track him downAnd it served his legend wellFor the folks, theyd love to tellbout when billy the kid came to townWell, one cold day a posse captured billyAnd the judge said, string im up for what he did!And the cowboys and their kinLike the sea came pourin inTo watch the hangin of billy the kidWell, he never traveled heavyYes, he always rode aloneAnd he soon put many older guns to shameAnd he never had a sweetheartBut he finally found a homeUnderneath the boothill grave that bears his nameFrom a town known as oyster bay, long islandRode a boy with a six-pack in his handAnd his daring life of crimeMade him a legend in his timeEast and west of the rio grande
